In reply to Megan. Ahhh! That makes more sense! Hahahaha. Ok, leaving the peel on is entirely up to you and should not affect cooking time. Though it will affect the texture, as the peel does not break down. XOXO -Monti

In reply to Judy Johnson. You probably would be best to find a tested recipe for canning, and the cornstarch is considered a pre-canning no-no.

Hey Monti, she probably meant unpeeled, and my answer to that is that the peels would really change the final texture – apple peels don’t soften when cooked as the flesh does. Wouldn’t be a total no-no and probably wouldn’t feel so great in your mouth, in my opinion!

In reply to Monti - Budget Bytes. I was wondering if you could leave them unpeeled (sorry, that typo made a huge difference).

In reply to Megan. The apples are peeled, so I'm unsure what you are asking. XOXO -Monti

Could you leave all or some of the apples peeled?

Good recipe! Only gave 4 stars because mine was like applesauce before the three hours was up. Also possibly my fault. I only had about 8 apples instead of 12. Wished I had realized sooner that they might not need the whole 3. Maybe I should have stopped at 2 hours. They did seem soft then. Or perhaps I just cut them too thinly? Or my crockpot just runs hotter? Either way the flavor on my ‘applesauce’ was good. I had a little with ice cream. Need to try stirring it into oatmeal tomorrow. I’ll probably be back to try this one again sometime.

I just made a half-batch, and I regret nothing about my life at the moment. Mix of red apples from my farm share, I used wine instead of water (I have a half-open bottle that should go to good use), and a spice blend called Omar’s Indulgence from a spice seller named Auntie Awen (based in Connecticut) and they are amazing. The spice blend includes cardamom, Ceylon cinnamon, orange peel, ginger, and cloves for people who want to try some other options, and I threw in a bit of nutmeg, too.

(Ok, I do regret that I don’t have vanilla ice cream or yogurt or whipped cream to have with it, but that is fixable next time I do this. I think it’d be amazing on morning yogurt.)

In reply to Judy Johnson. Unfortunately, I am not experienced with canning so I can't advise.
